What is the difference between business intelligence (BI) and big data? Is big data just a more modern version of BI, or are there significant differences? If they are different, what are the typical use cases for each? If they are the same, where do they intersect and overlap? Should organizations manage BI and big data platforms and applications together or separately?
In this Webinar, Forrester recommends that Application Development & Delivery (AD&D) Professionals working on BI and big data initiatives get the best out of both by designing and integrating them in a flexible data platform. We propose such a flexible platform, describe components and use cases, and provide recommendations on how to get started and pitfalls to avoid.
Agenda:
- BI And Big Data: Two Names, Same Purpose
- Close The Data-To-Insight Gap With A Hub-And-Spoke Platform
- Hit The Ground Running With Data Discovery Accelerators
- Consider Copying Most Enterprise Data Into A Data Hub
- Tune Your Data Governance Approaches For The Hub-And-Spoke Platform Layers
- Design Enterprise BI As One of the Spokes
- Improve Business Agility With More Innovative Components
- Plan And Design For Popular Big Data And Agile BI Use Cases
Key takeaways:
- Don't treat BI and big data separately — combine for the best of both worlds.
- What data should reside in Hadoop and what should remain in the legacy BI environment? How does Hadoop integrate with, complement, or (in some cases) replace the legacy solutions? Forrester sees BI and big data as complementary approaches to solving the same business challenge — turning data into information.
- Sprinkle your existing BI platforms with big data and agile BI capabilities.
- Don't make the same mistake in your big data setting that many organizations make in their BI platforms and applications — remember to make the combined environment agile.
